On the use of Q-language for syntactic analysis of Czech

Abstract: Eine von der Gruppe der algebraischen Linguistik der Karlsuniversität formulierte sementisch-syntaktische Analyse des Tschechischen wird charakterisiert, die die spezifische Programmiersprache Q benutzt. Prägen der Anwendung dieser ursprünglich für Behandlung von Sprachen mit „fester" Wortfolge bestimmten Programmiersprache an die „freie" Wortfolge des Tschechischen werden analysiert. Im Anhang wird die mathematisch-informatische „Philosophie" der Q-Sprache diskutiert, die sich von der „Philosophie" der geläufigen Programmiersprachen wesentlich unterscheidet.

The Czech Difference

Abstract: Yvette Biro’s extremely interesting and stimulating chapter prompted me to recollect a remark made by an old Czech film director from the 1910s and 1920s whom I interviewed many years ago as a student at the Prague Film Academy. When I asked this long-retired veteran about his role as an important figure in the history of the Czech cinema, he said, ‘Well, boy, if we had known we were making history, we would have done it differently.’ This approach, I guess, can be taken to most of the events and facts that are treated as sources of historical research. Now, of course, those of us who participated in the development of the post-1945 cinema in Eastern Europe find ourselves and our work the objects of historical research. Professor Biro’s paper brings up a lot of questions that haunt us to this day, because we still have uncertainties and disagreements about the trends we helped to make. And, importantly, we have questions about the pressures that we had to counter in making those trends — political, social, economic controls; just how was our work affected by those constraints? It must be said that, just as the pressures under which we had to work differed from time to time and from country to country, so too the trends that emerged from our filmmaking efforts differed from time to time and from country to country.
